Charles Spurgeon Commentary Jeremiah 9:9

"Shall I not visit them for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?" — Jeremiah 9:9 (ASV)

Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? (Jeremiah 9:9)

Divine justice sets the fire of indignation burning. Nothing excites God's wrath more than continued falsehood and deceit, unkindness, unbrotherly conduct, and unholiness of life. Put all these evils together, and you have more than enough God-provoking sins calling for an avenging visitation.
